Usually it’s filled. Strange. <br /><br />Anyway, yes traditional quilting is so much harder because you have to be patient and perfect. Two traits that I wish I had but alas, do not. I think that’s why improv piecing has become so popular. No perfection there! I admire your endeavor. The top, bottom and side blocks remind me of a praying mantis.quiltedfabricarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036237963134480179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-7687069952205771992018-03-05T12:06:21.391-05:002018-03-05T12:06:21.391-05:00Hi there and thank you for writing about Mary.

It flows in to the Scandinavian style of the time period in my eyes, and feels somehow comforting to me even today. I&#39;ve stood before the mural in the contemporary and looked for that one goat or sheep that is &#39;different&#39; than the others. I still enjoy the boat ride, but secretly wish for ear plugs hoping I can forget the song before it latches on to my subconscious. This was a treat to see here today.

We&#39;d shop and eat out, and we would bond over our devious tricks. My own kids were homeschooled, and we were far more flexible in doing what needed done vs. sticking to a rigid schedule. I think they are a little better at taking mental health days instead of seeing it as a skip day as I did. Either way, Yes!, you are absolutely correct. It&#39;s a valuable way to destress and energize, and just cut loose from routine. All work and no play make Jane a dull girl.
